Wolves

Lyrics

Light all the torches and wake up the king
 The smoke you've ignored is a flame you can't contain
 We circle the walls and claw at the dirt
 We growl from our guts and howl until it hurts
 I told her, "Come with me and I can take you from this place now
 Somewhere these roads don't go, a place that we can start again"
 I grabbed her hand and pulled her close
 She looked at me and said, "Hey, I don't even know your name"
 But I am ready to explode
 Like a tiger in a circus
 Cracking whips are all I know
 I'm searching for a sense of purpose
 We are the wolves at the gate
 Our numbers growing every day
 But you can't fight us all, no
 No, you can't fight
 We are the wolves at the wall
 We break in like a waterfall, yeah
 But you can't fight us all, no
 No, you can't fight
 ♪
 ♪
 The water is breaching the walls of the dam
 Trampling dreams in a rush to higher land
 Are you ready to explode?
 Like a tiger in a circus?
 This cage is all I've ever known
 But now you've given me a purpose
 We are the wolves at the gate
 Our numbers growing every day
 And you can't fight us all, no
 No, you can't fight
 We are the wolves at the wall
 We break in like a waterfall
 And you can't fight us all, no
 And we are not going away
 Roaming in numbers and chasing the scent
 Circling in for the kill
 And you are the winter, the long discontent
 We won't stop 'til we've had our fill
 (We are the wolves) roaming in numbers and chasing the scent
 (We are the wolves) circling in for the kill
 (We are the wolves) and you are the winter, the long discontent
 (We are the wolves) we won't stop 'til we've had our fill
 We are the wolves
 We are the wolves
 We are the wolves
 
 Light all the torches and wake up the king
 The smoke you've ignored is a flame you can't contain
 We circle the walls and claw at the dirt
 We growl from our guts and howl until it hurts
 I told her, "Come with me and I can take you from this place now
 Somewhere these roads don't go, a place that we can start again"
 I grabbed her hand and pulled her close
 She looked at me and said, "Hey, I don't even know your name"
 But I am ready to explode
 Like a tiger in a circus
 Cracking whips are all I know
 I'm searching for a sense of purpose
 We are the wolves at the gate
 Our numbers growing every day
 But you can't fight us all, no
 No, you can't fight
 We are the wolves at the wall
 We break in like a waterfall, yeah
 But you can't fight us all, no
 No, you can't fight
